SKILLS FOR LIFE AND ANY CAREER
Air Cadets encourage a practical interest in aviation and the Royal Air Force but there is no obligation to join the Services. The skills you can gain can help you with whatever you want to do in life.
We always seek to encourage the spirit of adventure and develop qualities of leadership and good citizenship. That includes being able to communicate clearly, work as a member of a team, enhance social skills and accept diversity.
